Without it, when one read the docstring for a mode defined with define-derived-mode it referenced a hook that did not seem to be defined.
I do not know wether the fact that a hook is unbound caused problems back in July 2003, but it certainly causes no problems in today's CVS. Many hooks are unbound until add-hook gets called for them.
